The trouble with this question is 'no language remains in its archaic form'. There are several language isolate (languages that have no known related languages) that probably go all the way back to the earliest divisions of languages (whatever that is) but even these go through progressive change. Speakers of any language wouldn't be able to understand that same language as it was spoken even a few centuries before. So really no language is any older than any other language. Written language is a different matter however as ancient samples have been found written in stone. The run-away winner in this category is cuneiform, the written form of Sumerian. This language is extinct however, both spoken and written. The title of oldest written language still in use today has many contenders but one of the fore-runners would be Hebrew.
